Beautiful paths lead around Holzen Monastery, following the Schmutter River. The first monastery was located in the valley around 1150. The original monastery church was also situated there. However, the riverside location proved problematic due to the wet and marshy ground. After repeated destruction, the decision was made to rebuild the monastery further up the hill. The Schmutter River remained important nonetheless. The path to the monastery's own mill, which operated until the 1960s, ran along the river.
